Columbus Square

  Columbus Square, also known as Plaza de Colón, sits prominently in the heart of Madrid, just off Paseo de la Castellana. Established in the late 19th century, the square honors Christopher Columbus and features a striking 22-meter tall monument dedicated to him, surrounded by a beautiful garden. In the spring months, the area comes alive with blooming flowers, making it a pleasant spot for a leisurely stroll or a quick break. Visitors can explore the nearby National Archaeological Museum or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere while relaxing on one of the benches. The square serves as a central hub for cultural events and public gatherings, enhancing its role in the city's social scene.
